The active ingredient is Dieffenbacia seguine at a potency of 12C, which is a highly diluted substance common in homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies are generally used for various ailments based on the principle of "like cures like," although specific uses for this particular remedy might vary. Regarding its toxicity, Dieffenbachia seguine, commonly known as Dumb Cane, is toxic if ingested by cats and dogs. The plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause severe oral irritation, intense burning and irritation of the mouth, tongue, and lips, excessive drooling, difficulty swallowing, and vomiting.
